Héliographie
Joseph Nicephore Niepce
The world's first permanent camera image shows the view from Niepce's second floor window in 1826. It is a bitumen image on pewter, showing only masses of light and dark tones. The exposure supposedly took about eight hours.

The photo above was taken by Voyager 1 in 1990 as it sailed away from Earth, more than 4 billion miles in the distance.
